I got into gold prospecting a few years ago as a hobby. This has "naturally" led to a interest in geology. Thanks for making some of these beginner concepts fun :)

Thanks for this clear explanation. There are a lot of people who are confused about the differences between rocks and minerals (and how elements fit into the picture), so perhaps a quick video that expands on these concepts would be helpful to complement this one. Thanks!

i am a geology student in university and wanted to have a brush up on basic mineral info. thank you so much! a well put together video!

This was so good for my geoscience lecture. Saving this to show to study group!

Very well done. I have a some new mods for Minecraft that add mineral and rock types so I needed mineralogy and geology 101. Thanks. :-)

Just „discovered“ your channel (- the algorithm will surely send more people your way soon). Geology seems interesting (- and you are easy on the eyes.) The only geology I know so far is from Randall Carlson, but most of his content is around the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, but that is very specific (and usually in very long-form podcast). I hope you stick to the basics for a while and maybe „delve deeper“ later when it comes to more specific themes. Maybe you‘ll end up with multiple formats. I’m looking forward to more videos.

I got two questions: is rock licking really something you guys do and how were the alkaline metals separated from each other chemically?

Here we come... Another new random and obsessive special interest of mine.... MINERALS!! 🤩

Well done. Unlike me, you don’t ramble. Naturally occurring can be a bit ambiguous I did a video on that.

nice video! do you have thoughts on the ice-as-a-mineral debate? I've heard it go either way. also, an overview video about the crystal habits and why they matter would be cool

thank you! and I thought about including that topic (ice-as-a-mineral debate) in here but I refrained. All of the official geology/mineralogy pages I've seen all say ice is in fact a mineral, and I remember learning that in my very first mineralogy class and it really stuck out to me! I personally agree with the argument that ice is a mineral, mainly because ice has such a huge impact on so many geological processes - glaciers as the main example. Also, it wouldn't really fit into the mineraloid category either since it definitely has a crystal structure. Very interesting! I think it's always fun to have debates on topics like this and science wouldn't be science without a little (or a lot) of debate! Also, I plan on doing a crystal habits video in the future - so i'm glad you suggested it.
